Doesn't seem weird to me. I feel like I'm cured too but my doc says don't stop taking the meds. It seems like stable and cured are the same thing. I wonder how much of what we are told from our doctors is to cover themselves in case they are wrong. I don't want a lifelong illness or to take meds forever. It doesn't seem like you do either. No answers, just more questions.
Thanks for sharing. It's good to know I'm not alone.
